My daughter said her favorite thing about dubble Bass is the fast part

It's always the fast part. And when you become able to start that crazy swivel to control your playing at high speed it becomes MWAH

Haven’t drummed in 7 years and just bought a new set recently and your videos are really helping me get back to it! Thank you!

[@brub5174]

Same, glad you're also back at it!

[@jonny555ive]

This is great, I'm always looking for more knowledge for playing drums, I'm self taught of 30 years, (double bass for 25ish) so any pointers from pros is cool in my book. To all the new drummers out there Never stop trying to get better 🤘🤘 Even an old dog can learn something new. Thank Gabe

[@dylanbaldwin7934]

Im 18 been playing for years. Im going to get the iron cobra 600 double. I had a used one but the left pedal was like sticking my foot in a bucket of shit. Im a single bass drum enthusiast but im turning to the dark side after years. As long as the left feels similar to the right in speed and power for the pedal, im all for it. Any tips on sings to start off on?

[@Quasar126]

@@dylanbaldwin7934 play slowly and work your way up. what I did was start at something slow like 60-70 bpm and do 16ths for 5-10 minutes. then go up, and up. you should also work on control like playing triplets and hertas on your feet (or whatever a blast of three notes is called)

[@b.entranceperium]

Appreciate it. 25 year guitarist here wanting to learn to be a metal drummer, so this seems like a perfect start.

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

Which exercise was your favorite? Plus, what lesson do you want to see from DBO next?? Let me know!👇 Also it looks like at 9:46 it says 150bpm rather than 85bpm. My apologies, I hope you find it within your heart to forgive me! 😀

[@jackkuchta8598]

Drum Beats Online Gabe! You’re my favorite teacher because you make videos for the intermediate drummers like me. I got my double bass pedals a few years ago and still struggle with control. With these exercises i think i can really improve. Follow me on insta @j_kuchta_

I’ve been playing single pedal only for a phattie. I’ve played it for about 7 years and for the past year I stopped completely. I recently decided that I wanted to get back into it and it’s almost like you knew! This video came in super clutch, I’m going to start grinding on these exercises. Thanks again Gabe!

Awesome tutorial! I primarily play rock and Jazz-fusion but have recently auditioned for a semi-professional band and landed the gig cause they liked my overall playing and my technique/speed and control in my hands. However my left foot had some trouble(I have played double kick before but I'm not that fast) so now I really just try to practice to get up in the control and speed I need for this band.

[@fishonthefly5050]

for all the lesson videos I've seen for double bass play , this one went to tops the list ..... plus ya get a laugh or two on the in between . gabe's a cool guy for sure .

[@jdkerrmusic]

Thank you so much for posting this awesome informative video! I'm a novice drummer and I'm so glad I came across this. The drum sheet music is totally helpful and the way you explain things is fully appreciated!

[@kyleolin3566]

Cool! I’ve just started really working on my double bass and I have been using exercises very similar to your first two. I am looking forward to trying out the third exercise. I have gone from playing 1/4 notes at 150 bpm to 250 bpm in about a week. I have been practicing 1 to 1.5 hrs a day and run 3-5km a day with a weighted pack, which helps. I have used double bass before, but never worked on anything more than very short (and sloppy) bursts.

[@alexdem98]

The last one is such a great exercise! And very applicable to real life scenarios!

[@TheDavisEffect]

Thanks so much for helping my quarantine goals, man!

[@marshallwilson-n3d]

Great video. I just had shoulder surgery so I’m pretty limited to what I can practice. I decided to use this time to work on double bass. This is perfect.

Great instructional video. Thanks for the tips. The nose blow thing genuinely cracked me up!

[@burkhardschmutzler4824]

Hi, after appliing a double pedal to my drumset, and watching your Video, I checked out your excercises and near the success on the pedal I noticed another benefit. It helped a lot with my backpain. Thank you for this. Sorry for my english. I' m from Geemany Burkhard

[@robertkees6048]

I'm finally getting into some double bass work. Years ago I got lucky and found a DW9000 double pedal on Craigslist hard up for fast cash and I bought it almost new in box etc for $220. But not being a double bass guy it sat in the box for like a decade. But I bought a new electric drum set for playing at home and I thought why not, I'm not performing just having fun, and man am I glad I finally put it to work. So much fun, and as a left handed human and a right handed drummer I duplicated the ride on the set for my left hand too. That's also opened up all kinds of new paths to new ideas and sounds. So thanks for this video, I'm on it.

[@warrensegura1241]

Excellent tutorial. Many thanks

[@tintworld8171]

Love it. Thank you, Gabe!

[@arproject4195]

As simple as these exercises seem they are super effective ! Thanks for sharing

[@billmatthews2463]

I'm just now getting into a double bass pedal and this is a great exercise. I'm an old-style rudimental swing drummer getting back into it after 33 years, and I'm not as fleet of foot as I used to be (with my trusty Ludwig Speed King bass pedal I could actually do "Wipe Out" with my one foot on the bass), so I figured I could make up for it with a double bass pedal. I've actually been practicing the rudiments with my feet and also noticed right away that my left foot is quite weak. Thank you for these suggested exercises. I know they will be a help.

[@pierredebruin8935]

this is awsome im saving up for a double bass drum set and your channel will help me alot thanks

[@Vince_BoneZ]

Amazing video, getting better everyday with these

[@billlaw8520]

Thank you for sharing this video. After the numerous other bass drum videos I've watched trying to increase speed and control, this one actually helped. I've been playing the drums for 20+ years and always slacked on my double bass. I was never taught the correct way to practice. This technique works. I've been doing it since it was posted and already see improvement in my control.

[@Rober7Paren7_Updating]

Thank you so much. Control my double bass was so hard at first but I’m sure I’ll get more comfortable with it after watching this. Thank you again, you were a great help

[@MrJayfog]

Really appreciate your time. This was super helpful and attainable (at the low bpms 😊)

[@p_bhai]

Beautiful beginning

[@justaguyandhissilver4893]

I love and use all these exercises. I like to add small changes to them while I practice. For example, the first exercise, when I'm playing with my left foot, instead of starting the exercise with the snare and bass hit, I'll start the exercise with the bass pedal so your hitting 3 in between HH hits as you count. So instead of bass/hh, bass, bass/hh, bass, bass/HH/snare, bass, bass/hh, bass. I'll play bass, bass/hh, bass, bass/hh, bass/snare, bass/hh, bass, bass/hh. It's a great way to get used to hitting the snare on off beats. I'm new to drumming, only 1 month in so I wish I could explain it better. Bottom line is this video was a huge help.

[@justaguyandhissilver4893]

Edit, I meant Startin the exercise on the bass/hh hit.

[@MOstix13]

Very well explained. Thanks!

[@boz2053]

Hello from Las Vegas! I was recently recruited as the drummer for a local upcoming band Wrath&Sorrow. We are a cover band but also have originals. We play decent but there is always room for improvement. Some of the songs we are about to tackle have some pretty intense drumming so this video is exactly what I needed. And the fact that you are willing to train fellow drummers at being better with their craft is simply amazing! Which is why I signed up for DBO Academy as well as subscribe to this youtube channel and follow on instagram & facebook...thank's again and ROCK ON!!!

[@DirtyJobsGuy1]

Great information! I really appreciate the time and effort you put into this video! I will put these exercises into my practice routine.

Just got mine, have spent the first few months only using heel down with my single pedal - mainly focusing on jazz too, so the left foot is stronger than I figured. I have my tension somewhat loose, kind of unsure if I need to adjust it per song/genre, or if I can keep a happy medium to play all styles - without sacrificing kick speed! Any advice is helpful!!
